Twas time to switch over to summer tires this weekend. But with elbow surgery last week, I had to coerce the elder child to get it done. He did a great job.
Went for a hike with my youngest and a neighbor kid. It was a nice afternoon.

Gas. That's a "real" truck. Given she wouldn't let me get the hybrid Volvo for her, we're going electric. But I need the 5.5' bed to make it fit. I would get a Tacoma, but it's too narrow to get the kart into the bed.4 doors and a 4ft bed?
Opted for mountain bike ride vs. dial in the new gravel bike and take it for a spin. It was the correct choice.
you're got-damn right it was!!!
wait for a Ramcharger? Range extended EV. seems actually really good for doing truck stuff. which is like butt stuff but with a bed, yo. uh, that didn't come out right did it

tell me why. most people i ride with are on dh bikes. i seem to be having equal amounts of fun and also waiting on them at the bottom. tell me about all the fun i'm missing out on when i am the one with the biggest shit eating grin at the end of the day every time...
also tell me about how your clapped out dh bike from 15years ago is funner than my modern long travel enduro bike.

All of them are still completely useless for us up here. Especially towing anything.
Y u no get a van?
The gubmit pays you enough to afford Novato? Nice!
see: Ramcharger above. 14k towing, 2,600 lb payload iirc. and unlimited post-battery range running that Atkinson-cycle Pentastar as a generator for the two axle electric motors.
I need min 55" rear entry width, ~5' length, and the option of having 4 seats is quite nice.
the latest manscaping tool arrived. electric head shaver as I prefer going hairless to sporting a hairy grey crescent on the back of my scalp. Damn thing does shave as close as a blade
Old Chicago Pizza in Petaluma
Route One Bakery and Kitchen in Tomales ( great backroad bike ride Novato to Tomales and back, get their focaccia and a cup of coffee)
Yeah, not really interested in being a beta tester for that with our climate and proximity to B.F.E.
Transit is big enough
I hate to say it, but a Sienna might work. The rear entry is 4" too small, but the full size karts have wider rear wheels. If it's narrow enough with front wheels mounted, that solves the problem. The rear seats fold down and the middle seats slide forward, to the extent that I might actually be able to fit 4 people, tools, and the kart, if I build a lifted structure to put the kart onto when we travel. Damn you @sunringlerider for making me look at that. Well, I know what I'm doing after the interview tomorrow... Dammit. And they are hybrids that get 36mpg. Dammit again.

lol, I totally feel ya, I gotten to the point where I just accept there is no perfect vehicle and just go through them like underwear.I hate to say it, but a Sienna might work.

You can get a used school bus for a couple grand. Just a thought.
Hey, I don’t like to clog up system memory with applicable “quotes” and shit.
We should all be so considerate.

See back to one vehicle. I'm not stepping off the pro driver cliff (currently).
Which I have to store somewhere and who knows what the maintenance on that looks like?
So I've not been following anyone's life-threads much on RM lately, but... y u no get whatever car you want, and a very lightweight trailer/receiver hitch to just tow the little kart? I get it, trailer takes up space at home, etc...but its even easier to load and unload the kart and you could do it with any vehicle that'll take a 1 1/4" receiver. Once you have the routine down, hooking and unhooking the trailer is easy...
(Or just hand her some big red tortoise shells and make her drive there herself...)
You'll have plenty of time to work on it when you quit your job to be a full time race dad. The HOA will love you.
